These injuries are keeping us from developing line chemistry. That's extremely troublesome. Need to be clicking on all cylinders in 4 weeks. Hopefully we have 2 or 3 games the last week of April where we get to set the lines.

Absolutely. There is actually a nerve in the area of your chin/mouth that can be hit just right and turn everything off for just a second. It looks just like Neal did skating off the ice; poor balance, disoriented, but otherwise fine.

Sure you want these guys to develop chemistry and be clicking on all cylinders going into the playoffs, but it's nice knowing the Pens pretty much have 3 to 4 weeks to make sure everyone is ready to go. It's not like we're the Rangers and fighting for our lives to make the playoffs.

No pressure for anyone who is hurt to feel they need to rush back. So that is a positive.
